Mortal Severance

Your gaze is frozen on the sands of time pouring down
Turning the hourglass before the final grain strands aground
Desperate not to lose what you never grasped
You turn to the future to remain in the past.

Rewire
The ways of flesh and mind Aspire
Transcend the divine severance
Of all mortal ties
Live forever
Do you still feel whole inside?

Free from earthly material you are reborn unconstrained
But now you long for the pleasure of pain
Liberated from the strains of sorrow
Inside you feel so hollow
Is this not what you wished for?

Life is now a tarnished illusion
A grand simulated delusion
Caged in our last creation we are truly alone
And now we start to question if our thoughts are still our own
We sought the secret to immortality
Only to find the art of dying slowly.

Severance
Of mortal ties
Live forever
Death defied
Do you still feel alive?

Disconnected at rebirth
Cut from the umbilical cord of Mother Earth
The universe will be left an insignificant stain
Only an outline of a civilization remains
In artificial realms from Death's reach we hide
By the laws of nature even galaxies must die
Man and machine united in the vacuous dark
Till the fiery death of a star do them part
Planetary celestial rings of severed souls
Orbiting our withering world of old.
